COPY OF TESTIMONIALS. 

I have examined the manuscript of Professor HeydenreicVs 
Elementary German Reader with attention, and congratulate those 
who design to study the German language on the important servi- 
ces which this work will render them, when it is made accessible 
in a printed form. It appears to be precisely adapted to the wants 
both of teachers and of learners. The former will no longer be 
embarrassed by the want of a Reader which is especially suited to 
the different stages in the pupils' progress ; and the latter will find 
that while no unnecessary difficulties discourage them, their pro- 
gress will be materially facilitated by the substantial and judicious 
aid afforded by this Reader. The grammatical details are full and 
complete, and the work is carefully prepared with a view to ex- 
hibit the whole structure of the German language. The selections 
indicate that great philological attainments and long experience as 
a teacher have guided Prof. Heydenreich in introducing all that is 
essential, without encumbering the volume with useless matter. 
The publication of such a work, which, without occasioning an 
unnecessary expenditure of time and labor, enables the student, 
when it is judiciously employed, to acquire a thorough and accu- 
rate knowledge of the language, will entitle Prof. H. to the grati- 
tude of all who take an interest in the noble language and the rich 
literature of the Germans. Ch. F. Sch^effer, 

Prof, of the German Language and Literature, Pennsylvania College. 

Gettysburg, June 7th, 1856. 



The want of a good and truly Elementary German Reader has 
been felt by all who are connected with seminaries in which the 
German language is taught. Hence I was highly gratified to find 
this want so completely met by the Reader which Prof. H. has 
prepared. 

I have examined the manuscript and believing it to be a most 
excellent work, I would very emphatically express my entire con- 
currence in the high recommendation given by Prof. Seha}ffer of 
Gettysburg. Robert de Schweinitz, 

Principal of S. F. Academy, Salem, Xorth- Carolina. 

The German Reader of the Rev. Prof. L. W. Heydenreich hav- 
ing come to my hands, I took pains to examine it and to enable 
myself to judge of the merit of the book. Being fully acquainted 



11 TESTIMONIALS. 

with the difficulties which the study of the German idiom pre- 
sents to the English mind, I am convinced that the Rev. Prof. 
Heydenreich, who has most honorably kept the professorial chair 
in linguistics in this country as well as in Europe, has performed 
his task in a very satisfactory manner, and I most heartily recom- 
mend his Elementary German Reader to the attention of teachers 
and scholars. In an admirable manner the book progresses from 
the easier to the more difficult forms of style, and the scholar, who 
will master its contents, will readily be able to familiarize himself 
with the most interesting and useful parts of the German litera- 
ture. W. J. Mann, 

Pastor of the German Ev. Luth. S. Michael's and Zion's congregation. 
Philadelphia, July 11th, 1857. 

New-Haven, July 25th, 1856. 
Prof. L. W. Heydenreich, — 

My dear Sir, — This work is one of which your own experience 
has suggested the necessity and pointed out the plan. The saga- 
city of an experienced and intelligent instructor is not likely to de- 
ceive or lead him astray in a matter of this character, and there 
would be an antecedent probability that a book so prepared would 
be found adapted to its end. And such appears to me to be the 
character of your German Reader ; as an elementary reading book 
designed to be placed in the hands of beginners, and made use 
of in connection with thorough instruction in the grammar to the 
end that grammatical rules and principles and forms should be 
illustrated, enforced and fixed in the memory, it seems to me very 
much in advance of any other work of the kind which I have met 
with, and I should hope that upon publication it would find recog- 
nition and patronage from the already large and ever increasing 
class of those who in this country are applying themselves to the 
study of the German language. The order of grammatical subjects 
upon which its arrangement is based could not well be improved, 
and you have illustrated them clearly, thoroughly and to an extent 
which their relative importance demands. No elementary study- 
book indeed, however exceptionably prepared, can make the acqui- 
sition of German easy and rapid, but much may be done towards 
facilitating and rendering attractive its study, and I should judge 
that that would be the legitimate effect of your Reader. Its gene- 
ral merit is enough to entitle it to extensive use. 

"With your plan of introducing as few notes as possible and re- 



TESTIMONIALS. 1U 

ferring the learner for explanations and assistance to the vocabu- 
lary, 1 entirely agree, and it appears to me from such examination 
as I have been able to give to the vocabulary, that it contain* 
what is required to enable any scholar of ordinary intelligence 
read and understand the selections. "W" . P. Whitney, 

Professor of Sanscrit and German in Yale Colleg* 



Nazareth, Pa., August 15th, 185G 
Dear Sir, — I received the manuscript of your Elementary G^ 
man Header a few days ago and examined your work. In its 
arrangement 3^011 have certainly carried out an excellent plan, and 
we trust that the great labor bestowed upon the Reader will secure 
to you a due reward in its general adoption as a Text Book in 
Schools. "We shall with pleasure introduce it into our Institution 
under the fall conviction, that it will prove profitable to our scho- 
lars, many of whom are seeking an acquaintance with the German 
language. Edward H. Reichel, 

Principal of Nazareth Hall. 



Bethlehem, Aug. 26th, 1856. 
I hope this Elementary German Reader may prove the means of 
removing many of the difficulties that have thus far prevented a 
more general study of the German language. I find every thing 
well arranged and the whole plan so well adapted to its purpose, 
that I can only say to each teacher, " Try the work in your class, 
and if you and your scholar follow up the plan of Mr. Heydenreich, 
you must meet with success." Eugene A. Frueauff, 

Late Principal of the Moravian Female Seminary at L'tiz, Pa. 



Dear Sir, — After due examination of your Elementary German 
Reader, I am persuaded that it is as completely adapted to the 
purposes for which it was designed as any scholastic work that has 
ever fallen under my observation, and it seems scarcely susceptible 
of improvement. A good German Reader for beginners has hith- 
erto been a great desideration ; but you have fully supplied it. 
Taking the learner by the hand you lead him insensibly onward 
by a system of such easy and most skilfully devised gradations, 
that he cannot fail to improve. Every student of the language 
owes you a debt of gratitude for the great amount of labor and 
deep research which you have so evidently employed in the execu- 
tion of the work. Sylvester "Wclle, 

Principal of Moravian Seminary, Bethlehem, Pa. 



IV TESTIMONIALS. 

Allentown Seminary, Sept. 12th, 1856 
It gives me great pleasure to say, that having examined a con- 
siderable part of the manuscript of Mr. Heydenreich's Elementary 
German Reader, I have been very favorably impressed both with 
the plan and contents of the work. Mr. Heydenreich has had so 
much experience in teaching English pupils as to have correct 
ideas of their peculiar difficulties and wants whilst engaged in the 
study of German. I shall be very glad to see his book in print, 
and doubt not that it will prove a very valuable auxiliary to all 
who teach or who are engaged in studying the elements of the 
noble language of Germany. William M. Reynolds, 

Principal of Allentoirn Seminary, late President of Capital University, 

Columbus, Ohio. 



New York, Sept. 2Gth, 1856. 
My dear Sir, — It gives me much pleasure to express my entire 
concurrence in the favorable judgment pronounced by my friends, 
Rev. Br. Schaefier and Rev. W. J. Mann upon your Elementary 
German Reader. The selections in Part II. are most judiciously 
made and arranged with due adaptation to the gradual progress 
of pupils. But I consider the Introductory Grammatical Exerci- 
ses in Part I. of far greater importance. In their close adherence 
to the regular method of classifying and unfolding the elements and 
forms of language, in their clear and full illustration of the princi- 
ples and rules of German Grammar, they are admirably adapted to 
familiarize the student with their nature and use, and effectually to 
aid him in acquiring a great degree of facility in speaking and 
writing our noble and certainly not easy language.

PKEFACE. 

Having, for a number of years, been engaged in teaching lan- 
guages, the undersigned always felt the want of a truly Elementary 
German Reader, and, after looking in vain to see this desideratum 
supplied, finally undertook the work which he here offers to tho 
public. 

The plan adopted is similar to that of Jacobs' Greek Reader and 
will, it is hoped, contribute to lessen the difficulties connected with 
the study of this language. 

This Elementary Reader is divided into two parts. 

The first, entitled Introductory Grammatical Exercises, embraces 
all the variable parts of speech, which are introduced in successive 
special chapters. But in order to simplify the study, words be- 
longing to different parts of speech of similar inflections are put 
together in the same chapter. To prepositions and other invaria- 
ble words presenting no difficulties, it was thought superfluous to 
devote special Exercises. Examples of their use will be found 
scattered throughout the whole book. 

In order not to embarrass pupils, forms with which they have 
not yet become familiar and which are not indicated in the cap- 
tions, observations and notes, have been avoided. They will 
therefore not be impeded in their course by encroachments upon 
rules of which they are still ignorant. 

In the second part the teacher will find the same principle pur- 
sued here as in the first part, viz : to present in these exercises also 
a proper gradation from the simple to the more complicated and 
difficult. 

The first seven numbers of this part will scarcely present any 
difficulties. The style is simple and clear, and the sentences short ; 
moreover, no irregular form of a verb occurs in them, except the 
auxiliary verbs of mood and their compounds, with which pupils 
are supposed to have already become familiar in the first part. In 
each of the following three exercises only one irregular verbal 
form will be found, and throughout the succeeding numbers two 
additional irregular verbs are introduced, together with some of 
these previously used. 

Although the author's chief aims in the second part was to make 
pupils acquainted by degrees with the irregular verbs most in use, 
he did not lose sight of the contents of the pieces, in the selection 
of which the utmost care has been exercised. 

Only a few notes which were deemed indispensably necessary, 
have been added to the text. More of them would in the opinion 
of the undersigned rather impede than advance the scholar's pro- 
gress. To render study too easy is an injury to the pupil. The 
more he endeavors to master difficulties, the more his mental facul- 



Vlll PREFACE. 

ties "will be strengthened, the more rapid will be his progress, and 
the greater his enjoyment in the successful effort. 

References to grammars being generally overlooked and conse- 
quently of no advantage to the learner, it has not been thought 
desirable to introduce them. The teacher ought to be a living 
grammar, always ready to give such explanations as his pupils 
may require. 

The utmost care has been bestowed upon the composition of the 
vocabulary, which is indispensable to beginners. 

As to the method by which German should be taught, and this 
book used, the author has no better advice to give, than to recom- 
mend the maxim of Horace : Festina lente. It is of no avail to 
hurry over the rudiments of a language, which has so many inflec- 
tions as the German. These must by all means be committed to 
memory and repeated until the pupil has them at his command 
and is able to make a ready use of them. As the construction of 
the German is so different from the English, it is necessary to ac- 
custom pupils to place the words in their logical order, before 
translating. By adhering strictly to this rule, they will soon ac- 
quire confidence in their own strength and their translation will 
not be a mere guess-work. As soon as they know the declensions 
of common nouns and some tenses of the auxiliary verbs, let them 
translate the corresponding exercises of this Reader, and let noth- 
ing l)e passed that has not been mastered. The more slowly you 
advance at the beginning, the more certain and satisfactory will be 
the progress of your pupils, after having overcome the grammati- 
cal difficulties. 

The author lays no claim to originality in this work. His task 
has consisted chiefly in arranging existing materials. If the ar- 
rangement of the whole be found judicious and adapted to promote 
the study and diffuse the knowledge of the German, he will feel 
sufficiently rewarded. 

Although our chief aim in preparing this work was to extend 
the study of this language, we do not hesitate to confess, that we 
had also another object in view, although secondary, viz : to fur- 
nish the schools of our German districts with an elementary text- 
book for translation into English and to disseminate the national 
language, the knowledge of which is so indispensably necessary to 
our American German population, both to fit them for the business 
pursuits of life, as well as to enable them to fulfill the duties of 
good citizens. Should this Reader be the means of attaining this 
secondary object also, its author would feel doubly rewarded for 
all his labor. L. W. Heydenreich.

and on the Auxiliary Verbs. 

Observations. — 1. In this as well as in the succeed- 
ing exercises as far as No. XXII. inclusive, the verbs 
fyctben, fein and ftierben, generally called auxiliaries, with 
which the pupil is supposed to be already familiar, are 
the only ones used. 

2. In the following exercises as far as No. XIII. in- 
clusive, in addition to the words designated in the super- 
scriptions, adjectives used as predicates, i. e. in their 
indeclinable form, and other indeclinable words are intro- 
duced, all of which the pupil will find in the vocabulary.

Observation. — As the infinitive present of a few other 
verbs is used instead of the past participle, when pre- 
ceded by an infinitive, and in this regard follow the same 
rule as the auxiliary verbs of mood, it has been thought 
expedient to give some examples of them.

SIXTEENTH CHAPTER. 
Exercises on Compound Inseparable Verbs. 

Observation. — As the past participle is the only form 
of the verb in the formation of which the regular verbs 
of this class deviate from the regular conjugation, such 
examples only are introduced below as relate to the past 
participle in the active and passive voice. — Some examples 
of verbs terminating in ieren and iren, which, although 
not belonging to this class, form the past participle in 
the same way, are added.

GERMAN AND ENGLISH, AND ENGLISH AND GERMAN 

PRONOUNCING DICTIONARY. 

BY J. G. ABLER, A M., 
Professor of German Language and Literature in the University of y&ut York. 

One elegant large 8vo. yol. of 1,400 pages. Price $5 

The aim of the distinguished author of this work has been to em- 
body all the valuable results of the most recent investigations in 9 
German lexicon, which might become not only a reliable guide for the 
practical acquisition of the language, but one which would not forsako 
the student in the higher walks of his pursuits, to which its treasurer 
would invite him. 

In the preparation of the German and English part, the basis adopt* 
ed has been the work of Flugel, compiled in reality by Heimann, Feil- 
ing, and Oxenford. This was the most complete and judiciously pre- 
pared manual of the kind in England. 

The present work contains the accentuation of every German word, 
several hundred synonymes, together with a Classification and Alpha- 
betical List of the Irregular Verbs, and a Dictionary of German Abbre- 
viations. 

The foreign words, likewise, which have not been completely Gor 
manized, and which often differ in pronunciation and inflection froi> 
•uch as are purely native, have been designated by particular marka. 



AN ABRIDGMENT OF THE ABOVE. 

1 Yol. 12mo. 844 pages. Price §1 50t 

With a view of offering to the student of the German such a portioo 
of his larger work as would embody the most general and important 
lexicographical elements of the language in the smallest possible com- 
pass, the author has gone over the entire ground of the larger work 
revising, condensing, or adding, as the case might require. All pro 
vincialisms, synonymes, and strictly scientific terms, have been excluded 
from these pages, and every thing that might prove unnecessary or 
•mbarrassing to beginners, or to travellers and others, for when* • 
•mailer volume is better adapted.

PRACTICAL GERMAN GRAMMAR. 

BY PEOF CHABLES EICHHOBN. 

12mo. Price $1 00. 

"The plar of this work consists m teaching the pupil by what is called the natuia! 
mode, in opposition to the Grammatical method. A child is taught to speak its nativ* 
tongue by learning the words and the construction of sentences, without the 'assistance 
of rules. "We have seen Grammars in other languages formed on this system, but thii 
1b the first systematic attempt to introduce the plan into the study of the German. W« 
have no doubt the author has succeeded in producing an excellent text-book. "—Pre!

A PROGRESSIVE GERMAN READER. 

BY J. G. ADLEB. 

12mo. Price $1 00. 
The favorable reception which Ollendorff's German Grammar hai 
jeived froEL the American public, has induced the Publishers and th# 
itor to comply with the very general demand for a German Header. 
plan of this reader is as follows, viz. : 

. The pieces are both prose and poetry, selected from the best au 
*>rs, and are so arranged as to present sufficient variety to keep alive 
e interest of the scholar. 

2. It is progressive in its nature, the pieces being at first very short 
*nd easy, and increasing in difficulty and length as the learner advances 

3. At the bottom of the page constant references to the Grammar 
3 made, and the difficult passages explained and rendered. To en- 

jurage the first attempt of the learner as much as possible, the twenty- 
one pieces of the first section are analyzed, and all the necessary 
words given at the bottom of the page. The notes, which at first are 
very abundant, diminish as the learner advances. 

4. It contains five sectioDS. The first contains easy pieces, chiefly 
n prose, with all the words necessary for translating them ; the second, 

short pieces in prose and poetry alternately, with copious notes and 
renderings; the third, short popular tales of Grimm and others; the 
fourth, select ballads and other poems from Buerger, Goethe, Schiller, 
Uhland, Schwer, Chamisso, <fcc. ; the fifth, prose extracts from the best 
classics. 

5. At the end is added a Vocabulary of all the words occurring iu 
the book.

GERMAN WITHOUT A TEACHER. 
BY J. C. CEHLSCHLAGER. 

12mo. Price $1 00. 
44 The author has been for many years a successful teacher of the German, his tatf t 
tongue, in Philadelphia, and he has given in this book the fruits of an intelligent ex. ♦• 
rience. The time has come -when the old, humdrum method of learning languages— 
flving languages certainly— should be abandoned, once and forever. A living langnagt 
riurald be learned by foreigners, just as it is by children. Pronunciation comes by imt 
tetlon, phrases and idioms by example and repetition. The logic of language is an after* 
thought, something to be applied after the language is learned, not as a means of learn'

A Collection of Selected Pieces in Italian Prose, designed as a Gas 
Reading-Book for beginners in the study of the Italian language. 

" The selections in the Italian Eeader are from popular authors, such as Botta, Man 
w>ni, Machiavelli, Yillani, and others. They are made so as not to constitute me 
exercises, but contain distinct relations so complete as to gratify the reader and eng 
his attention while they instruct This is a marked improvement on that old syst 
which exacted much labor without enlisting the sympathies of the student The sel 
tions from Manzoni, for example, are from the * Promesi Sposi? one of the nobk 
works of fiction ever issued from the press— a work so popular as to have gone throug 
an incredible number of editions in Italy, while it has been translated into every Ian guar 
of Europe. The Eeader contains six extracts from this novel, among which are ! 
beautiful episodes of Father Christoforo and the Nun of Monza, and a description c r 
(amine and plague of Milan in the year 1530. The account of the plague rivals th.- 
brated one of Boccacio in his Decameron. The idioms that occur in the selects 
explained by a glossary appended to each. The Italian Eeader can with cc&f> 
be recommended to students in the language as a safe and sure guide. After d t 
tag it, the Italian poets and other classics may be approached with confldonr
